[quote=Anonymous]I am 5'2", and a 33 year old female and I weight about 163 lb, so I'm not trying to lose vanity weight here. About 15 of that came on during quarantine. I've been tracking my food and eating 1500-1600 calories per day. I workout regularly, and for the past few months have been using the Madeline Moves app, which is strength with some cardio. I've consistently worked out for my entire adult life, so this wasn't my first time working out, but I change up the programs a lot to avoid boredom. According to my Apple watch - I realize this is not entirely accurate - I usually burn between 2100 and 2300 calories a day.

I don't know what to do anymore. I've had bloodwork done in the past, maybe 3 years ago, and my thyroid was normal, but I do have PCOS, which I am on medication for. I have no children. Do I go back to a doctor? And if so, what do I ask for, because I often just feel this stuff gets brushed aside and you're just told to eat 5-6 meals a day blah blah, which isn't actually science based. If I eat less than 1500 calories, I find that I'm really hungry and feel run down, and it's not sustainable for me. So if that's the answer, I guess I'm just going to accept that this is my body for the rest of my life. I just had to vent because I watched the scale fly up back in the spring (admittedly, I wasn't eating 1500/1600 calories a day then) but I haven't seen it drop at ALL since then. I just don't understand. [/quote]
